Lot details

Registration No: KSL 743

  • A genuine British Bullet that has been part of a collection
  • Fitted with stainless steel wheel rims and 12v electrics
  • Recently MOT'd, supplied with a current V5C

The first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901 by the Enfield Cycle Co. of Redditch, which made its name manufacturing bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines. Under various ownerships, the name has survived to the present day, making it one of the longest-lasting names in the two-wheeled world. The single-cylinder Bullets were produced in Britain until the mid-1960s, but production of the model continued in India for many more years.


This British-built 1960 350cc model was enjoyed by the previous owner for seven years, being ridden in the summer months only. Though it no longer needs an MOT by law, he continued submitting it for the annual test for peace of mind, the last one being performed on 18th April 2023. It was then sold into the vendor’s private collection. Only used for a few runs, like most of the other bikes being offered from the same stable, the seller has decided the time has come to let them all go. The bike is fitted with Hagon rear shocks and stainless steel rims shod with period-correct Avon tyres, and the electrics have been converted to twelve-volt with a halogen headlamp. It comes with an original Royal Enfield instruction book, a reproduction workshop manual and a spares book. With the subtle upgrades, this good-looking Bullet will make an ideal bike for summer runs and rallies.
